Spirit Week: Movie Monday

Last week was Spirit Week at my school.  Spirit Week is the week of the Homecoming game, and everyone dresses up for a Movie Mondaycertain theme each day.  For fun, I thought I would look back on the fun memories and pictures. 

Monday was....... Movie Day.  Obviously, we had to dress up as a character of a movie... or a movie star of some sort.  You get the idea.

For Movie Monday, I chose a spy theme.  I based my look somewhat off of Carmen Sandiego.  You know, the old games from back in the day: Where In the World is Carmen Sandiego?  Yeah.  That was me.  I was also compared to a spy from Mission Impossible, Sandra Bullock in The Proposal, Anne Hathoway, and a general movie star.

I wore a red satin trench coat I borrowed from a friend, big sunglasses, skinny jeans (but not too skinny, for you modest girls), and two inch heels (woo, I'm such a rebel).  Silver eye makeup and some bright lipstick topped off the look.  I kept my hair long and straight, but extra silky.  I'm not much of a red silk, heels, skinny jeans kind of person, so it was fun to look more "flirtatious" than I usually would, if you know what I mean. 

When I went out, I definitely was hit on by some guys.  A cashier at Subway called me beautiful.  A lot of guys held the door open for me that day.  Monday was a ton of fun.

I saw some other awesome costumes.  Some of the coolest were a giant cardboard notebook: The Notebook... and someone dressed up as the house from Up, balloons and all.  Some of my good friends dressed up as Bob the Builder, Lucille Ball, Pocahontas, and Anne of Greene Gables. 

A friend of mine was a Minion from Despicable Me.

Another friend was the Matrix.

After the fun day at school, the high school had a big bonfire party.  It was fun and lighthearted.  Part of the fun was finding the party location in the first place, way out in the middle of nowhere.  I loved spending time with my friends, roasting marshmallows and tackle hugging people.

Senior year is the best ever.

Yo soy Garbanzo.

Day 20: A food you like and a food you dislike

garbanzo.gifA food that I like that you might not expect is garbanzo beans.  Whenever I go to a salad buffet, I always look to see if they have garbanzo beans.  I've liked them for as long as I can remember.  They are just yummy.  I could have them as a snack every week.

A food that I dislike that may be surprising is chocolate.  I don't mind chocolate

What weird foods do you like or dislike?
